The Chichén Itzá is beautiful historical site. You could learn some about the Mayans. The tour is too long and don’t expect much times for see the Chichén Itzá. Not much special about the cenote except the natural beauty. Ortherwise just busy shopping in small retail shops. Eat breakfast and bring water with you.

This tour was incredible! Not only did we have fun but we learned so much about the culture, history, and people every step of the way. We were so lucky to have Uli, Norma, and Jorge as our guides and driver—they were so kind, funny, and knowledgeable and truly made the experience perfect from beginning to end! At Chichen Itza it was busy but not so much that you felt rushed, crowded, or couldn’t take your time with photos etc. it was so cool getting to learn about the Mayans, why and how they built the structures, the science of the acoustics and architectural design — it’s no surprise that this is one of the modern wonders of the world. The open cenote and lunch at Selva Maya was my favorite part, not just of this experience but possibly my entire trip to Mexico thus far. It was such a beautiful and magical place and the food was delicious!! I highly recommend getting the hibiscus drink Jamaica— so good!! We did get the all inclusive package tha prepaid for a locker, life jacket, and one drink at the buffet— definitely recommend! The most surprising aspect of the tour however was the tequila tasting!! As someone who doesn’t typically like tequila, going with my wife who doesn’t like the taste of alcohol at all, we did not have high hopes for this part. Well we were DEAD WRONG!! We ended up buying a few bottles for gifting as well as a large bottle of the chocolate tequila for ourselves!! We had such an amazing time— thank you, thank you, thank you Uli, Norma, and Jorge for making this experience unforgettable!!
